5.0 out of 5 stars The most cogent guide to RPC programming I have seen., October 14, 1997
This review is from: Microsoft RPC Programming Guide (Nutshell Handbooks) (Paperback)

The authors take the reader from the very first steps to rather complex applications of Remote Procedure Calls. Along the way, they explain how RPC works, and why it is one of the better tools for implementing true client/server systems.

Despite a very few factual errors (the page on memory allocation using RpcSs contains one) and despite a too-short description of when to use which memory allocator, I rate this book at nine out of ten. For a perfect ten, the authors will have to include material on secure, authenticated, RPC, too.

If you do serious DCE or MS RPC programming, or if you are trying to learn the ropes: Try to find a copy. And no, mine is not for sale. ;-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn the foundations of COM, October 24, 2001

This review is from: Microsoft RPC Programming Guide (Nutshell Handbooks) (Paperback)
COM is built on top of RPC. This book is a bit dated, but still a good guide for learning the technology that COM is based on. COM will make much more sense if you take a little time to learn RPC first.
